The subject is a local road-traffic collision in Hasselt, the capital of Limburg province in Flanders, involving a bus and resulting in two reported injuries. The core named entity is Hasselt; the likely transport context is Flemish public transport, though the operator and route were not confirmed in the available incident report.
